Annoying rattling sound inside driver door
 
When i play music there is a very annoying rattling sound coming from inside the door panel. Wondering if anyone has had this problem before and how to fix it :confused: Dont want to take the door panel off but i think im going to have to

Looks like your removing a door panel. Takes about 3 minutes. With practice, less than 1 minute. Pry up on window control panel at bottom edge, disconnect harness. Pry out small panel in front of door handle, remove 10mm bolt. pry out small access panel below door handle near center of door, remove 2 10mm bolts. Grab edges of panel, and pull off gently. pop 2 door control cables out of brackets. Done. Find and fix rattle. Easy peasy

Hey bro I'm from Martinsburg WV. You ever go out to dual Highway on the weekends?

DEpointfive0 02-19-2015 06:52 PM

I have that problem. Does yours go away when the window is slightly down?

If so, it's probably the window regulator

no i dont go to the dual. yeah it goes away when it is cracked

mine is more of a squeeky noise coming from the drivers lower door area. Also a rattle/vibrating noise behind my left ear (think it might be the seat belt hinge thingy).

mine is coming from inside the door panel for sure. Ill have to take my panel off one weekend when it gets warmer out to see if something is loose

Same issue here, took my door panel off and tightened some bolts, helped but still have minor rattle at times.

I agree about the window regulator, which i did not access, it is behind a removable metal panel i assume.

....Is this something that can be tightened down or adjusted, or is the fix a new window regulator?

thanks

I have the same problem... if I just barely tap the window down button, it goes away. (and I mean barely touch it, as in the window will still do the up/down when you open/close the door, I do it almost every time I get in the Z.) I've tried adjusting the height of the window (the 2 bolts that secure that window on the regulator) but it doesn't matter.. it's the actual regulator, apparently the cushion at the top wears out. When it warms up I'm going to take it apart and try putting a small piece of foam there and see if it fixes the issue, since the actual regulator isn't broken or worn out I don't think its worth spending the $$ to replace the whole thing..

Need to replace a rubber washer on the window guides inside the inner door frame.
